Tanya Tucker Sued Over Dog Bite

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A manicurist who claims she was attacked by country singer Tanya Tucker's dog is suing the singer for $300,000.

Danielle D. Hobbs alleges in a lawsuit in Nashville that the dog ran from a bedroom at Tucker's home and began biting her without any warning. 

She said she suffered painful and disfiguring scars on her leg. 

Hobbs said she was attacked May 2, 2006, while she was at Tucker's home near Nashville to give her a manicure. 

Tucker's hits include "Delta Dawn" and "San Antonio Stroll."
